Angie’s wide ranging career achievements, from being the first British performer to storm the legendary Harlem Apollo to making history in London‘s West End with the first ever sell out show by a black comedienne, not only enables her to deliver top quality performance and production values on stage, screen and the airwaves, but also to attract a large and loyal fan base along with greatly increased audiences wherever her work appears.

Angie hopes to one day re open the school.
